Landowners and federal agencies in rural Oregon don’t always have the best relationships, especially when it comes to fire management. But as first reported in the Blue Mountain Eagle newspaper, landowners and managers in Grant County have been working with state and federal agencies to reduce wildfire risk. The Top Road Fuel Break project would clear vegetation from a stretch of public land that abuts private homes and ranches — both reducing the amount of potential fuel for future wildfires and protecting the surrounding communities. James Osborne is the fire management officer for the Bureau of Land Management’s Prineville District. Irene Jerome has long served as the Firewise coordinator for Grant County. And Bill Newman is the manager of Top Ranch, near Monument. They were all involved in the project, and join us to share more details.

Lawyers for former Newport News teacher Abby Zwerner say new information from a grand jury report indicting a former school administrator may give grounds for state and federal agencies to investigate Newport News schools.

Rant and Rave share stories with you about how the lived, local  experience of regular folks has now got the Far Left in meltdown mode, as Hispanics, African Americans, Asians and even moderate Dems and Independents  have finally figured out that the Democrats (aka Marxists) are using them to retain power, control them then spit them out once their mission has been accomplished. We The People say NO. It will not happen.

In packed meetings, Manatee County residents, environmental activists, and scientists urged local officials not to go through on a plan to gut wetland protections. Manatee County commissioners did it anyway. Sophia Brown reports. Then: A local entrepreneur is growing mushrooms offshore, and restaurateurs love his stuff. But Sarasota County is giving him a hard time. WSLR's Ramon Lopez was on Sarasota Bay to see for himself. Next: The backlash against the state's attempts to remake higher education in Florida continues. On Monday, three New College professors and three students filed suit against a law they say restricts academic freedom. Stan Zimmerman edited, and Sophia Brown reports. Finally: 200 Million dollars - that's what Sarasota County will soon get in federal funding to fix the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Before submitting its spending proposal to the Feds, the county wants to hear from residents. The hosts of the Our Changing Environment show on WSLR interviewed two key players. We have a summary of what they said.

Rich Glick, in his first wide-ranging interview since denied a second term at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, discusses the need for building out the transmission grid and for reforms to wholesale power markets to better accommodate the evolving resource mix toward more renewable, intermittent resources. Competitive wholesale power market reforms also are needed to address increasing climate-induced stresses on reliability, the former FERC chairman said."I think that some of the markets around the country, the markets operated by the RTOs and ISOs around the country, certainly need to be reformed in a way to address the change in the resource mix that we are seeing, the different challenges that we see associated with those changes, and just, again, extreme weather," Glick said. Glick appeared to indicate surprise that FERC's proposed "relatively minor change" to federal right of first refusal, or ROFR, provisions in a closely watched transmission rulemaking engendered such opposition. "There was a lot of attention paid to that provision. But I think it underscored in many ways – hid the bigger problem that I think Order 1000 left, which is guiding or directing utilities towards (building) the wrong types of transmission in order to avoid the competitive bidding process." However his former colleagues at FERC resolve the ROFR issue, he said the "concept behind competition, including in transmission, is a good one and I think will prove valuable to consumers."Asked if the 1935 Federal Power Act provides the best platform for the transition to a 21st century clean-energy grid and economy, Glick said the nearly century-old law could stand to be revisited by Congress. When Congress acted in 1935 the line between state and federal jurisdiction was "pretty clear," he said. "But over time, the line has gotten much more blurry," in large part because of the advent of distributed generation and demand response, "which FERC has acted to encourage over the last decade or so. And that's caused some friction between the state regulators and between FERC." But given politics he suggested any changes to the 87-year-old law are unlikely.Glick, who as an adviser to the late Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., in the 1990s wrote proposed legislation to require electricity competition at retail nationally, also doesn't see much prospect politically for improving the abysmal state of electricity competition for retail consumers outside of Texas. "Competition can be helpful but it's an idea I don't – I wouldn't say its time has come and gone, but it's an idea that certainly is not – there's not a lot of focus on that in most states around the country these days."The retail competition bill he drafted for Bumpers also would have required competitive regional wholesale power markets throughout the country. Asked if FERC should use its authority to require RTO or ISO markets everywhere, he noted that the West and Southeast are the only remaining areas without some form of an organized regional market. Interested parties in the West are increasingly coalescing around the establishment of enhanced market regionalization, Glick said, noting the region's increasing acceptance of market regionalization is being driven by the need to better integrate the region's vast and far-flung renewable energy resources and respond to climate change. However, he held out little prospect for improving grid regionalization in the Southeast. "I think FERC arguably has the authority, but I think it's – I'm not entirely sure the commission is going to be anytime soon focused on the Southeast. So I think it's better at this point to focus efforts to encourage greater regional efforts including RTO development in the West, where there's there seems to be some momentum for that,Support the show

Samso Insight Episode 97: This episode is a general discussion on how politics and mining are interbedded in conversations.   One of the most important factors about investing in this mineral resource sector is understanding what the macro instruments are doing and how they will affect your investments.   For example, Tony gave us a good (long) discussion of what will ultimately be the cost that industry will wear with the onset of policies that will create bureaucracy hurdles which ultimately means more cost and headaches to industry.   This episode is a good change of pace from our technical discussions. This is a discussion which will univariably create more questions than answers. This is the very reason I invited Tony to come and share his thoughts.   As we all know, investing in any sector or industries, we have to look at all aspects that will affect the earning and capital appreciation of the product. This episode gives viewers a good understanding of what those factors may be in reality.       Chapters 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:12 All about Tony Goode 03:08 The factors affecting mining investments. 10:03 The cost of ESG? 22:30 How can investors digest the need to go clean energy? 26:19 How much influence do politicians have on investments when they speak? 28:49 Can Australia play the Nationalism card to protect out critical metals? 32:15 The changing geopolitical boundary could be positive for the mining industry. 33:48 Last words from Tony Goode. 36:21 Conclusion

Tuesday April 12, 2022 - Federal Regulators, from most every agency, are looking into regulating all things Crypto. The Biden Administration recently issue an Executive Order - directing them to do do. But, here is the thing about Federal Regulations - they take a VERY long time to implement. The Crypto industry moves quickly. They don't have time to wait for the Federal Government to, first educate themselves about the nuances of Crypto, then draft meaningful regulations, get those regulations passed, and finally to apply the regulations. So, the Crypto industry is taking a State by State approach to get the laws they need enacted. Attorney Steven A. Leahy reveals this strategy with you on Today's Tax Talk. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/politics/crypto-industry-states-legislation.html --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/steven-leahy1/message

An elections bill is expected to be a top priority for Gov. Greg Abbott (R) during a special legislative session next month, while federal voting legislation stalled last week. State Rep. Craig Goldman (R-Fort Worth) and U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D-Dallas) join Julie Fine and Gromer Jeffers.

In this episode, Dr. Fred Gingrich, AABP Executive Director, talks with Dr. Suzanne Dougherty a poultry veterinarian and Executive Vice President of the American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP). AABP, AASV and AAAP often collaborate advocacy efforts as allied organizations of the AVMA. Suzanne shares information about the poultry industry which includes broilers, turkeys, egg layers, and other birds such as ducks, quail, and pheasants. She discusses improvements in animal welfare and antimicrobial stewardship efforts as well as challenges associated with “no antibiotics ever” programs. Just like the cattle industry, improvements in management, nutrition, genetics and preventive medicine programs have improved production efficiencies, sustainability and animal well-being. Suzanne explains some of the major disease challenges the poultry industry faces, such as respiratory and enteric disease, and the process for depopulation in the event of a disease outbreak or environmental disaster. The AVMA depopulation guidelines are utilized to assist veterinarians and producers during these unfortunate circumstances. We also discuss small backyard poultry, the disease risks such flocks can bring to commercial flocks due to differences in surveillance, and resources AAAP has for veterinarians working with small backyard flocks. She discusses the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) from the USDA that is utilized by the poultry industry. The NPIP is a voluntary State–Federal cooperative testing and certification program for poultry breeding flocks, baby chicks, poults, hatching eggs, hatcheries, and dealers. You can learn more about AAAP and join this association by visiting this link.

Then, according to Brian and Rowena, the CDC took over. Princess staff complied and adapted to everything asked of them. The remaining passengers were delayed getting off the ship by union members (Rowen assumes longshoremen) claiming unloading contracts and requiring additional time to get union laborers to the docks. Union members then refused to load baggage onto the passenger shuttle busses as this task did not fall into their labor contract. This delayed disembarkation further as Princess employees now had to return to the ship dock to take the task over. Guests and crew were largely waiting nervous and without information at this time. As a company caught in the middle of CDC, State/ Federal government regulations, unions and a damning news cycle Princess Cruise Lines was battered by a storm worse than any they've faced on the open sea. Brian and Rowena are quick to point out that as the changes came, new procedures rolled out, new isolation policies put in place Princess employees were amazing through out. Captain John Smith proved to be a leader and encourager in a way he likely never thought her would have to be. Prior to docking in Oakland, the ships programming and operations took shape in a new way. The dining rooms were shut down. Menus were delivered to each room three times a day for guests to order. The staff snapped into action adapting to the new routine. Bars were put on carts and guests were served in their rooms. Brian and Rowena pitched in and helped to entertainment staff create and deliver daily activity pack to each room. The contents were items like, quiz and trivia sheets to do along with the ships onboard televised programming. Rowena also provided hula lessons for in-room learning. After the debacle of waiting to disembark persons were dispersed to four locations. Brian and Rowena are in condo like complex with other persons from the ship. They are served by military members in hazmat suits. They are in a one bedroom unit and can access a common kitchen area stocked with excellent snack foods. There is also an area to get outside. Brain strolls and Rowen power walks her way around. They try to go out very early and late to avoid contact with other people. Brian and Rowena are keeping busy while in quarantine. (Well... Rowena pokes fun at Brian for being lazy and not writing another album... he just chuckles.) Rowena is writing her second book on native knowledge and culture lessons she was raised with. She recently released "Random Acts of Aloha (https://www.amazon.com/Random-Acts-Aloha-Rowena-Vasquez/dp/1091109400/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=random%20acts%20of%20aloha&qid=1584818732&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR1Rc8M5eHX6mhFFpnFgiehndOaNM_vDmVFUJEHT68i4xE2W8jdZoNqocLw)" on Amazon. At the time of recording (Friday, March 20th, 2020 GMT) Brian and Rowen were both healthy. They had been tested and awaiting results. Of the initial crew members that tested positive (assumed count 19) most are reported to be fully recovered. Most are of the crew are residents of the Philippines. They are back in the Philippines for 14 days of quarantine. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/0/037e01ef-c3bb-4048-9bb2-f57e8e9144e2/Ignm88Dq.jpg unsplash-logoLucie Dawson Closing the program, Brian blesses us with a playing of, "Over the Rainbow" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Rainbow).

Culture of compliance is the phrase OCR uses when defining what they are looking for in an audit or investigation. They also use the phrase robust compliance program in the same manner. Using these steps is a great way to make sure your organization is following their lead. Links ComplyAssistant Compliance Management Solution  Spher EHR Access Monitoring Solution FindHealthcareIT HIPAAforMSPS.com Kardon Compliance Notes 7 steps to improving your Privacy & Security policies and procedures and nurturing a Culture of Compliance: Designate a Compliance (Privacy & Security) OfficerFirst, the law requires you do this. But, if no one is in charge then nothing will happen, we all know that to be the case. Or, in a vacuum of leadership someone else will take charge and handle things the way they think they should be done without the support of management.  Train and educate your staff and BA partnersConstantly restating the same information over and over in a variety of ways may be annoying to some but that means they have heard it! Also, don't forget to work with your BA partners to confirm they actually understand what HIPAA compliance requires in their organizations. Implement an ongoing Compliance maintenance solutionThis is what we talk about using tools such as ComplyAssistant, Spher, and professional MSP monitoring and management applications. Either use the tools or develop manual internal controls and processes to accomplish those same documentation and audit tasks on a regular basis.  Conduct regular and complete audits and monitoring of all ePHI systems If you are ignoring it then so will everyone else in your organization. Monitor and respond to Incidents in a timely manner (State & Federal regulations)We all freak out together as soon as we know something could havehappened to our PHI. Adhere to a strict breach remediation protocolDefine your breach plan and use it every time. After any case that it was used, then review it to make sure you don't need to change or add things in the plan. Create a open line of communication for management and staffThe law requires you to never retaliate towards any person who files a complaint or reports a problem including a breach. If you don't make it clear that you fully support that rule and all workforce members are free to ask any question, file any complaint, and report any concern then you will likely be missing things just because someone was afraid to tell.
